I was commissioned to design a label for a very customized wedding. The couple wanted me to illustrate blooming roses arranged in the shape of a heart to fit a 2" x 2" sticker that would be placed on the gift for the guests (a cookie with a recipe specifically created for the couple by a chef). In an effort to not let it look like clip-art, after a few versions I settled on one blooming rose in the shape of a rose. Due to the small size, I finalized it as vector art. A few days before the wedding the groom wanted a JPG formatted for a slide show -- when I arrived at the reception two very large projector screens greeted me with my design -- VERY COOL!! I was very pleased that an illustration made for such a small format could hold its own when projected (the beautiful room dressed up in red and gold helped as well). Labels: PUBLIC ART, SPOT ILLUSTRATIONS
